Procedural Right of Way Imperfections...So What? THIS is What!

Season 5 · Episode 75

Tuesday, February 27, 2024 • Duration 49:03

Eminent domain can seem oppressive and unfair. The American system of compulsory acquisition features constitutional restrictions and obligations, as well as numerous duties imposed on condemning authorities and rights conferred upon impacted landowners. Our right of way acquisition process has come a long way, yet imperfections persist. Do we have the best system in the world? Is it fair enough? Are there loopholes that still need to be closed, and is there more that we should be doing to protect our citizens? Texas eminent domain attorney Sejin Brooks joins Infrastructure Junkies to offer his insights into what's broken within the systems of right of way acquisition, eminent domain and the Uniform Relocation Act.

Heirs Property: So MUCH MORE Than a Land Title Issue!

Season 4 · Episode 73

Tuesday, October 31, 2023 • Duration 48:41

Dominion Energy Senior Counsel Karla Carter joins Infrastructure Junkies to discuss the complicated history of heirs property issues. What exactly is "heirs property"? What are the effects--both intended and unintended--on certain segments of the American population? What are our obligations to heirs property in the right of way context?

When condemning agencies encounter parcels of property which were inherited by its currents owners--often passing intestate and without the benefit of a will--the easiest option is sometimes to simply proceed to condemnation. Karla Carter explains why this has become an issue of social and environmental justice and how the abuse of partition suits has been utilized to deprive certain segments of the population of their land. In fact, heirs property is the leading involuntary loss of African American property in the United States.

Listen in and you will understand why heirs property is so much more than a land title issue.

Tuesday, October 17, 2023 • Duration 51:17

Southeastern Virginia is comprised of seven cities, each of which is waterfront, and many of which are separated by large bodies of water.

The Virginia Department of Transportation launched one of the largest infrastructure projects in North America to expand the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. Chief Engineer Ryan Banas joins Infrastructure Junkies to explain this incredible feat of infrastructure expansion, and in the process, tells our audience exactly how this bridge goes under water.

The Los Angeles Aqueduct: A Right of Way Tale for the Ages!!

Season 4 · Episode 71

Tuesday, October 3, 2023 • Duration 49:48

A controversial and sometimes shady right of way project may be single-handedly responsible for the City of Los Angeles as we know it, and all that it represents. The Los Angeles Aqueduct, the brain child of William Mulholland and Fred Eaton, miraculously transformed a sleepy oil town into a world famous metropolis. Armchair Engineer Adam Ratliff (TikTok: @armchairengineer) joins Infrastructure Junkies to explain the genesis of this project, all that it entails and how it was accomplished, the disastrous effects on the Owens River Valley, and the tragedy of a dam failure which claimed the lives of over 400 people. One thing is certain: if there is no aqueduct, there is no modern day Los Angeles.
